Beautifully detailed, hyper-accurate models

The detail on the vehicles is incredibly intricate, and the best part is you don’t need a degree in engineering to assemble them. Bandai Hobby makes their high-quality model kits by blending complex detail that hardcore collectors like, with construction requirements that model builders of all skill levels can assemble.

None of these kits require any glue, and the character models are poseable. Sprue Cutters or similar clippers are recommended for assembly, but are sold separately.

Sprue Cutters for model-making

What do you think, collectors? Will there be room made on your shelf for these Rise of Skywalker beauties? The kits are available at any authorized Bluefin retailer and affiliated online outlets. That Millennium Falcon model is gorgeous. It’s time to get out the wallet!

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20th, 2019.
